  • I'm sorry...Eddie is the best...

  • God damn Fred Mandel's got the funk!

  • Five of the same, wtf. Where's the strat or the gibo?

  • Please... Who's on the piano?

  • @brodoloni01 Fred Mandel

  • You're ON MY CHANNEL!!

  • theres no guitarist past or present that enven comes close to edwaed van halens guitar genuis period!

  • Yes, SRV was the BLUES; unfortuntely (also unfortunate I may not be able to spell) those bright lights, fast living often take peopple like SRV out of this place too soon (see you in the next one, don't be late)!!

  • THE FACT THAT ANYBODY WOULD PUT DOWN EVH BLOW'S MY MIND... HE'S THE 1ST GUY ( IN ROCK & ROLL) TO DO ALL THE CREATIVE STUFF HE'S DONE WITH THE TAPPING AND THE WAMMY BAR , ETC... AND EVERYTHING ELSE HE'S BROUGHT TO THE TABLE ...30 YEARS AGO.. WHO DO YOU THINK ALOT OF THE HOT GUITARIST'S TODAY WERE INFLUENCED BY!!! THERE'S A LONG LIST OF "POPULAR GUITARIST'S OUT THERE WHO SPEAK HIGHLEY AND WHO SAY THEY IDOLIZED HIM GROWING UP ... METAL GUY'S ETC... EVH DOES ALOT MORE THAN ARPEGGIO U TO DEATH !

  • @muppy1100 you are sooo right! the whole guitar world was changed in a huge way 34 years ago.

    jimi hendrix could only dream of doing what eddie van halen has done and continue to do 34 years

    later! theres no one like him and most certainly never will be any one like the pure guitar genuis

    of edward van halen!

  • @stratdem WTF, I'm sorry man but I have to correct you. There is only the one Jimi Hendrix, not only a great guitarist but a great song writer and singer. The style of guitar playing that Jimi Hendrix did was a hybrid of blues, rock, soul, funk and psychedelic. BTW, Jimi Hendrix was voted by Rolling Stone Magazine Nov 11 as the greatest rock guitarist of all time. I was blowin away by Eddies shear abandonment and brute force and speed of tapping, but, we are all diciples of Jimi Hendrix! Freedom

  • 0 dislikes. Now that's win.

  • Does anybody know where the album "Starfleet" is available?

  • It's always funny to see arguments or comparisons between guitarists. It's impossible to say who's the best. Everybody offers something different. My favorite guy today may not be the same next week, but then he will be again next month. I'm glad we have them all to enjoy and I try to learn from all of them. In terms of most influential guitarists, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen come to mind. They changed things forever.

  • lasagne al forno

  • is it just me or is there a pattern following people named jimmy and steve and being insane musicians

  • Im a HUGE Eddie Van Halen fan, but if I want to listen to the blues, it's gotta be Stevie Ray Vaughn. Stevie was BORN for the blues. It was in his blood, his soul. He lived and breathed the blues. Eddie and Brian are amazing rock guitar players but this recording just sounds like rock trying to sound bluesy. They were born to Rock, Stevie was born to sing and play the Blues! I'm not saying SRV was the best blues artist, just that i prefer him to Ed and Brian when it comes to the Blues.

  • Legends!

  • I reckon they would have gone on all day if Ed didn't snap his high E at 1:11!!!!!!!

  • i love this..chased the starfllet project recording for years..finally got a vinyl copy and tracked it down on CD the same week lol...took me over 20 years, but had 2 copies, and hilariously i dont own a turntauble any more.... lol. this is just great...very un-queen and EVH is just great.

  • Two awesome guitarists. Two examples of thinking outside the box and going in completely different directions. Brian with his incredible layers, delay and melodies, Eddie with his speed and skill. You gotta say both are incredibly technical.

  • I think these guys should stick to arena rock. The blues is definitely NOT their bag., Sorry, just my opinion.

  • @Pjaynes781 Right in the money...by the way I hate the tag arena rock,... but you still right ...This song is a celebration..a tribute from EVH and Brian May both great fans of the "BEANO" record John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton...I have a videotape with EVH saying " yeeahh man Clapton to the bone"......to play the blues ask for SVR, Johnny Winter, Buddy, BB, Clapton...EVH and MAY don´t master the Blues cus they don´t want to.....pretty much it

  • @vakeromty I'm a big EVH fan and i love the blues. I know Eddie was largely influenced by EricClapton, but i think i recall reading in a magazine that Clapton didn't really think much of Eddies guitar playing.

  • @Yeseniaschick "Clapton didn't really think much of Eddies guitar playing" thats ok im really not a fan of claptons playing .though i dont think he going to loose any sleep over it .

  • @Pjaynes781 haha spojen by a lover of the blues no doubt

  • @sw3210 A lover of all things music. My comment is not referring to their talent just the lack of feel for the Blues.

  • MEMORABLE!!!!

  • if my aunite had bollcks she would be my uncle ..nuff said

  • if u dont like jimi ur fukd in the head ed is great, there all good

  • I have meet Vai multiple times & for his genius he is a very humbled guitar player.

    VAi & Satch & Yngwie all idiolized Jimi & yet they play shit Jimi could never do. Jimi was amazing for time i UNDERSTAND this. No one could play like Hendrix. But Jimi never played Arpeggios like Vai & others have. Some Guitarist may have more famous music than Vai & Satch & Yngwie, doesn't meen there better guitar players. I love Angus Young as a Guitar Player more, doesn't meen he's better than Vai, EVH.

  • Some day someone might say the same thing you said about hendrix but the it would be about vai/satch/yngwie. Not saying it will happen, but it's possible.

  • Yeah but neither one of them can write like Hendrix. Vai and Satch use the template of EVH and Yngwie is just a juiced up version of Uli and Blackmore.

  • Vai & Satch are superior to EVH. Eddie is awesome but is not on a level with those guys big dog. Yngwie over does it I agree but plays unbelieveable. Hendrix was good, just not the best I've ever heard. I feel Andre Segovia was hands down the greatest most gifted guitar player. He alone got more people to play guitar the world over. Look him up. He played flamenco. Did shit on acustic that cats today are doing on electric guitars. I liked SRV Robert Johnson & Stanley Jordan more than Hendrix.

  • Segovia was classical and he mainly transcribed music. Flamenco was not his forte'. Paco de Lucia was the real flamenco. Vai and Satch owe EVH for revolutionizing guitar. Vai and Satch are great technical guitarists. Without EVH there would be no Vai and JoeS. without Hendrix no EVH. Vai, JoeS and Yngwie borrowed many licks from Michael Schenker,DiMeola, Uli Jon Roth. Want good acoustic 7 string..Yamnadu Costa.

  • without Robert Johnson there would be no Hendrix, EVH & so on. EVH is great no argument. Vai & Satch are miles & miles better than he is. No disrespect to u or evh. Been playing guitar myself for 24 years. Segovia did play classical but also touched on flamenco & did it well. IMO no one played a guitar like Andre, just my opinion. Charo is a great example of how great andre was. I respect all great musicians even If I don't like the genre. EVH wasn't even the first to hammer on like he claims.

  • He never cliamed to be the 1st to do hammer ons. Alan Holdsworth actually is the father of hammer ons. Charo played more flamenco than Segovia ever did..He despised flamencoist. Both were cover artists. Paco de Lucia is the best ambassador for flamenco.

  • Segovia Taught Charo it's widely known. That's why she is so gifted imo. Sedgovia nonetheless is a phenom. To me Greatest Talent to play guitar to ever walk planet earth. I speak for me brother. Not U or anyone. JMO. I also Love Stanley Jordan check him out if you don't know already. AMAZING Guitarist. If I believe in Segovia & Vai, I'm not going to think EVH & Hendrix to be 2 best all time. Like many claim them to be. Take Care Brother.

  • I have seen SJordan many times and he is amazing. DiMeola discovered him. He is another who does great covers but no original stuff. Me I prefer musicians who do their own compositions. Vai and Satch were huge influences on me in my teens. It was their influences that made me go deeper.

  • theres no one superior to edward van halen he's the alltime guitar god great/genuis

  • jimi could have play any solo, a lot of no famous people in youtube can play any solo, its practise, the hard thing is to make them

  • your fucking crazy eddie van halen would bury jimi hendrix so far under the stage it would take 6 fucking months just to locate him. hendrix is not even close to the guitarist that edward van halen is this is plain FACT! and not some empty bullshit opinion.

  • what i said. was jimi could make a cover of eddie's solos.

  • very and i do mean very unlikely

  • Thank you. finaly someones right.

  • s the Lord of Electric Guitarists...and i bet EVH would agree with me.

    I love Eddies guitar, but James Marshall Hendrix is on another plain

  • @demonsbutterfly I love JMH but Edard vanhalen is on another plain!!

  • edward van halen is the greatest guitar player of all time! edward plays it all baby!

  • EVH is great , I'd give your nuts to play like him. BUT he is NO where near Steve Vai & Satch & Malmsteen & Vinnie Moore. Best Guitarist Ever is Andre Segovia. He was a Classical & Flamenco. He died in the late 80's in his earlies 90's. He played a flamenco guitar like EVH & Vai played a electric. Simply Amazing. I respect EVH & You. Take Care. Been playing guitar myself for 24 years.

  • if there was no edward van halen there would be NO! Vai or satch or Malmsteen or Vinnie Moore and the list go's way on my friend.

  • EVH my brother does not play as techicnal as these guys as I listed do.

    Andre Segovia Blew all there doors away. He got more people around the world to pick up a guitar than anyone. albeit acoustic, still impressive. He played acoustic better than these guys play electric 1000 fold. Take Care.

  • you bet ....AMEN..!! some youngsters don´t admit that the approach, in the guitar playing by VAI or SATRIANI, came from EVH....They are more technical ..yes..but the ideas came mostly from EVH.

  • We must thank EVH for thinking outside the box...that´s why Brian May pick EVH to play with him, in this rare guitar collaboration on a record.

    The other one STEVE HOWE another guitar hero on INNUENDO (playing the flamenco guitar)

  • @vakeromty Well said! Steve Howe is awesome!

  • @lucrativeelfmongrel I don't know how Steve Howe got brought into this, but 3 CHEERS, Mr. Howe may be the greatest classical rock guitarist with jazz Fusion abilities ever...Steve is a MASTER!!! Queen asked him to play a solo on the song Innuendo in the middle of the song, the flamenco guitar part is so UNMISTAKABLY STEVE HOWE, it's awesome.

  • @vakeromty dont put vai in the same sentence as EVH or Satch... vai is a wanker. EVH is an inventor, Satch is a perfector. period.

  • @vakeromty YES. Righteous!

  • edward van halen is considerd the greatest of alltime these others are NOT!

  • I disagree. He is definetley up there.

  • brian has a phd.. enough said... planetary science at that

  • Theres only one man who keeps playing the guitar after a string snaps during a studio recording. Edward Van Halen. Pure rock n roll. Hes the greatest ever.

  • While performing with Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton snapped two, not one, strings and carried on with his solo!

    Eddie is a great guitarist, I agree, but there are better.....

    The greatest guitarist ever.......Rory Gallagher?? RIP

  • Well I still think Eddie's the greatest ever.

  • I also think Eddie is the greatest.....but Brian is THE only guy out there who has made me question that. Maybe Holdsworth.....but I always come back to Eddie.

  • !!!

  • simply Brilliant!

  • eddie breaks his string at 1:10

  • yeah excelente temazo

  • Surprised I'm the first comment....this shit is history....way cool.

  • Well the vid was only uploaded 6 days before you posted lol, not very much time for anyone else to comment.
